Koch having Washington follow the “no rules” bullshit is social murder,.., that will go uncharged, unprosecuted, and unsentenced. WE NEED RULES NOW! WE NEED GOVT TO SOLVE PROBLEMS NOW! WE NEED GOVT THAT REPRESENTS MORE THAN JUST THE RICH:
“The best two decisions in my life were not to have children and refusing to "get a job". One of the scariest things I can think of is the realization "I wasted all of my life doing nonsense that destroyed the future of my own children. Just to die to global panic."
No, thank you. I am glad I opted for 40,000 hours of spare time and no anxious children to explain our existential insanity to.”

“perhaps we can see the slowdown of the Gulf Stream here?
there seems to be a large area of cold water - 6C or more below normal - probably/ possibly Greenland meltwater, interrupting the gulf flow. there seems to be little of it left after it meets the cold patch. transport of warm water toward Uk and europe is less vigorous than one might hope for...esp if you live in the uk. like i do! though just look at how warm the entire atlantic ocean is!

“The absence of Corporate Character
It was miraculous.
It was lamost no trick at all,
He saw, to turn
Vice into virtue,
Slander into truth, impotence into abstinence,
Arrogance into humility,
Plunder into philanthropy,
Thievery into honor,
Blasphemy into patriotism,
And sadism into justices.
Anybody could do it;
It required no brains at all.
It merely required no character.”

“WILL COP26 IN GLASGOW DELIVER?
September 2021 was the second warmest September on record, after September 2020, according to NASA, Copernicus and James Hansen, despite the cooling effect of the current La Niña. The NASA map shows that the Arctic Ocean was hit severely by high temperatures.
The NASA map shows an anomaly of 0.96°C compared to 1951-1980. With COP26 to be held in Glasgow, from October 31 to November 12, 2021, it's important to realize that using the period from 1951 to 1980 as a base is not the same as pre-industrial. So, how much has the temperature risen from pre-industrial and what are the prospects? Will COP26 deliver?
Let's do the calculations once more. The trend in the first chart indicates that the NASA data need to be adjusted by 0.29°C to change the base from 1951-1980 to 1900.
Of course, 1900 is still not pre-industrial. The second chart shows three trends:
- The green trend is based on unadjusted NASA data (1951-1980 base).
- The lilac trend is based on data adjusted by 0.79°C for a 1750 base, for higher polar anomalies and for ocean air temperatures. The lilac trend shows that the 1.5°C threshold was already crossed when the Paris Agreement was adopted in 2015, while a 3°C could be crossed well before 2050.
- The red trend is based on data adjusted by 1.28°C, adding an extra 0.49°C to the lilac data for a 3480 BC base. The red trend shows that the 2°C threshold was already crossed when the Paris Agreement was adopted in 2015, while a 5°C anomaly could crossed by 2060.
Another thing to consider is the impact of short-term variables. The third chart shows the same red data, i.e. 1.28°C adjusted, with two trends added: a red trend based on 1880-Sept.2021 data, and a blue trend based on 2015-Sept.2021 data.
The blue trend is more in line with short-term variables, such as El Nino, sunspots and volcanoes. The blue trend shows that temperatures are currently suppressed.
Within a few years time, sunspots can be expected to reach the peak of their current cycle, and they are looking stronger than forecast.
Furthermore, the next El Niño could raise surface temperatures significantly. The image below indicates that the difference between the top of El Niño and the bottom of La Niña could be more than half a degree Celsius. NOAA expects the current La Nina to deepen and to continue well into 2022.
The threatening situation is that we'll go into the next El Niño, while sunspots are increasing and while the aerosol impacts may go from dimming into further driving up temperatures. A huge temperature rise could occur as the sulfates fall away that are currently co-emitted by traffic and industry, while at the same time releases of other aerosols such as black and brown carbon can increase dramatically as more wood burning and forest fires take place.
Such short-term natural variability can furthermore act as a catalyst, causing numerous feedbacks to kick in with ever greater ferocity. Such feedbacks can result in collapse of Arctic sea ice and eruption of huge quantities of carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide, further driving up the temperature rise abruptly, as illustrated by the blue trend.
The MetOp-2 satellite recorded some terrifying methane levels recently. On October 14, 2021 pm, a peak methane level of 4354 ppb was recorded at 293 mb (left panel), while a mean level of 2068 ppb was recorded at 367 mb (right panel). The Images show only a partial cover of the globe, so there may be some problems with this satellite, yet it could be an ominous sign of things to come.
Sadly, the IPCC keeps downplaying the temperature rise and the threat of a huge rise soon, while promoting the idea that there was a “carbon budget” to be divided among polluters that would enable polluters to keep polluting for decades to come. Hopefully, politicians at COP26 will do the right thing.
